WINDMILL COLLECTING
AERO has supplied 17-inch windmills to thousands of customers over the years. Many of those
customers have been businesses or organizations which ordered windmills with their name or logo screen
printed on the tails. There have been over 200 different special tail styles made, in quantities ranging
from a dozen to over 10,000 of each kind. Collectors of AERO manufactured windmills regularly add
new models to their collections as they become available. At the same time, they shop antique stores,
flea markets, garage sales, auctions and eBay for old models no longer made. This is especially true for
individuals who attempt to acquire as many different 17-inch windmills as possible with the names of
the historic, real water-pumping windmill companies on the tails.
